Cupcakes are fun as a kid to decorate... especially when there's massive amounts of candy to decorate with and eat. Making spider cupcakes are the best for a Halloween party or a fun project with treats.

Steps

1

Make cupcakes, following the directions of the mix box. After baking, let them cool completely before moving on.

2

Frost the cupcakes with the flavor or color of your choice. This frosting will be what color your spider will be. If it's for a kid's party, it's better to have two or more different colors. This may be an advantage just in case someone prefers vanilla over chocolate, or pink over brown.

3

Cut the licorice into small pieces for the legs. A good suggestion is to measure and use the length of your pinky finger.

4

Place four licorice pieces on the top sides of each cupcake.

5

Get two candies and place them in the center of the cupcake. These will be the eyes.

6

Position two candy corns at the bottom of the cupcake. Be sure that the tip of each candy corn is facing towards you. These candies will be the fangs for the spiders.
